There are many things you can do to improve the hormonal symptoms you are experiencing. You always want to get to the root cause and usually certain deficiencies are leading to imbalances within the female hormonal system.

Daily intake of phytoestrogens present in foods like legumes, broccoli, tomato, onions, bee pollen, peppers, most citrus fruits and vegetables, whole grains and sprouts will help balance the hormonal axis and smooth the transition period from perimenopause to menopause. Because steroid hormones are going up and down during this time, phytoestrogens have dual functions: they will inhibit the effect of hormonal surges and stimulate receptors when hormone levels dip.
Other supporting tips:
–Bioflavanoids have an estrogenic effect
-Pomegranate seeds are very rich in estrones
– Avoid coffee, tea, sugar, alcohol. etc
-Get adequate COMPLETE protein including some from vegetable sources
-Consume plenty of antioxidants to slow the aging process and maintain gonadal and adrenal cushion
-Take adrenal glandulars (I like TAD+ from Genestra)
–B complex, especially B5
–Tyrosine
-Vitamin C
-Essential fatty acids which help balance prostaglandins and help prevent symptoms of flooding or flashing.
-Maca
-Take care of your bones by exercising frequently as the lack of female hormones signals calcium to be pulled out from the bones and osteoporsis often develops as a result. Take Meno-gen to help with hot flashes and hormonal balancing. You want to take it for over a year (4 weeks on 2 weeks off) for best results. YOu also want to consider taking calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and K, and trace minerals.

Alternating flax seed oil and evening primrose oil can be used to help balance female reproductive hormones. Give flax seed oil from day 1 until day 14 (if you still have flow) to support estrogen production and evening primrose oil can be taken from day 15 to day 28 to support progesterone production. Once menstrual flow has ceased, the alternation can still be continued for several years. The complete menopausal transition for the body can last for five years following cessation of menses.

Extra support/suggestions:
-Licorice and ginseng can be taken to strengthen the adrenal glands especially once you enter menopause.
-Vitex or chaste tree raise progesterone levels and help correct high estrogen-to-progesterone ratios.
–Vaginal dryness: vitamin E taken orally and also inserted vaginally before bed (poke hole into capsule before inserting)
–Moodiness: Vitamin B6 along with essential oils such as rose, geranium, bergamot, and clary sage.
